What is the Pure.Md MCP server?

Unblock, scrape, and search tools for MCP clients. The pure.md mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 4 defined tools rather than through you.

What it actually does

Welcome to the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for pure.md.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • unblock-url — Extract markdown from web pages without getting blocked
  • search-web — Search the web for a query and concatenate results into markdown
  • Cursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this server
  • Windsurf — Add the following to your ./codeium/windsurf/model_config.json file:

Configuration

You will need one environment variable: PUREMD_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Adding it to your client

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @smithery/cli on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

When to reach for it

Plenty of search and retrieval servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Pure.Md's toolset — unblock-url, search-web, Cursor and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by puremd; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Caveats

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the pure.md mcp server does with a few real requests.
